We study the scattering of Dirac electrons of circular graphene quantum dot with mass-inverted subject to electrostatic potential. The obtained solutions of the energy spectrum are used to determine the scattering coefficients at the interface of the two regions. Using the asymptotic solutions at large arguments, we explicitly determine the radial component of reflected current density and the scattering efficiency. It is found that the presence of a mass term outside in addition to another one inside the quantum dot strongly affects the scattering of electrons. In particular, a non-null square modulus of the scattering coefficient is found at zero energy.
